Re: "Separately, Iraqi military officials raised to 23 the number of bodies discovered in a mass grave near Lake Tharthar - a former stronghold of al Qaeda in Iraq..."

Is is too much to ask from CBS Newz, for a summary of how these terrarists can be identified as members of "al-Qaeda-in-Iraq"?

Don''t we all need to develop these detection techniques, in case we spot one of them "over here" instead of "over there"?

Re: "And the U.S. military said Tuesday it had identified an al Qaeda operative killed in a Nov. 17 raid on a reported propaganda house as Abu Maysara, a Syrian who directed the terror group''s media network."

Was the name of this alleged operative, "IntelCenter" by any chance?

Didn''t the Decider and Maliki already decide that we won''t be leaving Iraq, until we are kicked out, or until we lose interest?

Iraq OKs U.S. Troop Presence For Last Time
Government Will Ask U.N. To Extend Military Authorization, But Last Year For Wide Powers

But sir I thought UN was/is under USA any way
May be I must be reading about UN in Africa??? Sort of failed UN in Darfur, Tsunami gives me jitters
And do these soldiers come back now or is there a veto from Mr. Bush we have to wait. No I am serious. The veto in everything from the manufacturing of the currency to appointments of the judges and e fence on the border and the health and education has got me all thinking, what exactly is veto and what this magic wand works for Mr. Bush every time senate wants to move ahead

I thank you

"This is a very positive process,"

Any move by the Iraq government to stand on its own is positive news.

Re: "Iraq OKs U.S. Troop Presence For Last Time"

Iraq continues to lack a government that can be seen as either legitimate or sovereign.

Hence, as the illegal war of aggression against Iraq continues into its fifth year, and the shameful carnage continues, there is still no nobody for our misleaders, or for U.N. officials, to negotiate with, on behalf of the people of Iraq.

Only a right wing ideolog could misspell "bedwetting". And what''s the point of that personal insult ? Like all right wing insults, it''s based on nothing but venom while ignoring the point. The Iraqi authorities do what the United States wants. We would not be building a Disneyland embassy, the largest in the world, if there was a ghost of a chance that a legitimate Iraqi government would demand that we leave. The Iraqi government it totally corrupt, and we support them. We aren''t going anywhere, in more ways than one. This is a travesty - so grow up, stop your insults, and say something sensible, if you can.

Nancy_Naive,

Only a bedweting lib could take a great song and twist it in to a leftwing political pretzel. I am profoundly disappointed.

The Iraqi Cabinet is NOT the Iraqi Parliament. Cute wordplay by CBS/AP...but the Iraqi Parliament aren''t going along with this. This can''t help any.

" The Iraqi Cabinet agreed Tuesday to ask the United Nations to extend the authorization for U.S.-led forces in Iraq through the end of next year, but it will be the last time, officials said."

Since the Iraqi government is soveriegn and has made this committment, I fail to see President Bush''s position of not wanting a deadline like Congress wants to add to the funding bill. Iraq has set the deadline and not the USA.

9/II = CIA false flag op?

Patriot Act, Military Commissions Act = Constitution Burned?

Proposed SB 1959 = Institutionalized hatred and fear?

C''mon, babyboomers - you stopped these same tyrants before, it''s time to act once more.

Remove the traitors before 9/ I I I
